Where to stay
San Francisco City Hall is in a busy downtown area that’s still finding its footing after the pandemic. Like in any city, we recommend staying aware of your surroundings, especially at night.
If you’d like to stay close to City Hall, here are a few nearby options. We suggest booking early, since June is a popular time to visit.

San Francisco has many hotels with different price ranges. Airbnb has a lot of options as well. Feel free to ask us about a place before you book it.
Flying
Fly into San Francisco International Airport.
Getting an Uber, Lyft, or cab to and from wherever you’re staying in the city should be around $30-50.
Getting around
The easiest is Uber/Lyft. The city is geographically very small, so most Uber/Lyft rides will be around $18 - $25. We suggest trying Waymo while you’re here, because robo-cars! The cost is usually about the same as Uber/Lyft, but can be significantly more depending on the day and time.
If you’re feeling up to it, public transit here is pretty decent. There is a (recently upgraded) train from the airport to downtown. Once in the city, there is a subway/light rail system that goes to many parts of the city.
Renting a car and driving is an option, but know that many hotels charge for parking, and it’s hard/expensive to park in the city.
